Decided to get myself another console for the bedroom, mainly to take advantage of the HD tv in there, and got myself a 360.
First impressions are that I will certainly get my money's worth, but the console itself is a right pain to do anything with.
It feels cheap in its construction, very built down to a price. But the blade interface is lovely, far better than the PS3's... Er, scratch that, as I just updated to the new system and that is TERRIBLE!!!!!!
The controller is great, and I can see why people rate them better than the PS3 controller... BUT... What if you're left-handed? Not quite so comfortable or natural then, I would imagine.
The major disappointment is how bleedin' awkward it was to get it playing anything other than WMV format movies. You would have assumed it would have been included in the updates, but no... you have to download an optional media pack.
And as for putting music or movies on the console.... What a right royal pain in the a$$ that is. Why can't I simply copy my mp3 files from my hard drive?
Noooo, say M$, you must burn onto a disk because otherwise they could be downloaded files...
Same with movies... AAAARGH!!!
And don't even get me started on going wireless!!!!
Ah well, at least the games are good.
On that front, what decent RPGs would you recommend for the 360... Preferably ones with turn based combat as I prefer that style.
